“I was intrigued right to the end, lots of history woven in, and a thoroughly enjoyable read.”  -Jack Kennally, Barrington, Rhode Island

“Read Jackhammer over the holidays. My husband, the author of seven novels himself, had enjoyed it so much he recommended I put it at the top of reading list. Love the characters.”  -Suzanne Loomis, Duluth, Georgia

“If you enjoy reading about WWII this is a must read. A page turner that grabs you on page 1.”  (Rated 5 stars on Amazon.com) -- John W. Cotter, Chatham, New Jersey

Jackhammer is a riveting thriller masterfully set within the geopolitical developments that rocked the world during WWII.  Meticulously researched, Jackhammer takes the reader from the streets of New York to London, Berlin, Paris, German East Africa (Tanzania) and Gallipoli.  Characters – including several historical figures – are expertly drawn.  Most important, the story MOVES and you won’t be able to put it down.
